For reasons I don't know, I have not seen it set seed in the UK, though I can't say I have looked very hard. Quite a lot of plants from warmer climates flower well (as it does) but don't set seed. Or it could be that most clones are of one sex (it is dioecious) or for several other reasons. Chiltern have seeds, at a couple of quid for 8. How many are you looking for? If a lot, you may need to contact someone further south. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Thanks for replies. I'll give it a go.
Anyone know if they can be cultivated from cuttings? "Rodger Whitlock" wrote in message ... On Sun, 23 Nov 2003 18:39:45 -0000, Andy Sanson wrote: I'm interested in growing bay trees from seed.

The bay tree there was surrounded by seedlings - we just transplanted a few. So they do set seed naturally outside in Suffolk. I assume they may also grow from cuttings - I have divided one which was putting up extra shoots from the roots and this worked well. HTH Dave R |
